Rik Ward, again

Made lots of websites once - now looks after people who do. Music, Art and Indie Game appreciator. General gentleman. 'Performer' of internet radio mistake The Blender. Rip-off Artist. Affectionately known, by some, as Major Disaster.
Nice to see The Trainline's marketing team switching the tone-of-voice generator to Failed 2 Unlimited Titles today

Hey BlueSky - is this a spork, or a fork with specific aesthetic choices?

Please help. I have no idea.

Any magazine that can have this as official merch (although this pic is a reproduction) is A-OK with me!

Well, thank goodness for that.

Oh, do fuck off.

Here's a couple of recent arrivals from here, too!

In hindsight, I think I'd rather they were 100% potato.

Thanks to the suggestion of @leefreshprince.bsky.social, I've completed Stop The Express on the ZXS this evening.

Proof attached. Had never played it before - horifically unforgiving game in a classic style, but quite enjoyed it and might consider doing a speedrun in future.

Hang on - what?! Has someone else been using my Amazon account? A mouse?

It's gone all Xmassy with a sudden swerve because the local taproom have a brass band on and they're honking their way through the classic carols, and Cliff Richard for some reason

It's hard to describe how much fun @thecubanboys.bsky.social are for a live set. Wall-to-wall chaos: @poundshopboys.bsky.social and @spraypopmusic.com also happen for some reason, and also Wonky Puss sing about The Smiths infesting their kitchen. An evening of extremely banging musical delirium.

Here's Hacker T Dog announcing last orders in the pub I was in last night - as ever it's turning out to be a perfectly normal Xmas.

Blimey. That's a lot.

Quote with your first computer:

Grandstand's My First Computer

I hope this counts? It is what I would consider the first device I ever interacted with.

Followed up by a ZX Spectrum +2 a few years later, and then a +2A when that stopped working. (Both of which I preferred to the earlier models.)

I feel extremely judged by this Tron arcade machine

Bit early, I will admit. (This is from half an hour ago.)

Off to the UK Student Radio Awards this evening - a big thankyou to the Student Radio Association (who aren't here yet) for inviting me.

There may well be pictures/observations or incomprehensible ramblings, because there is booze.

The Blender's one-of-a-kind formal attire is in use:

Quote post with a picture of yourself and show these newbies who they are dealing with.

I'm with the brand.

Kudos to the amazing @spraypopmusic.bsky.social and their HappyRobots pals for an amazing evening last night.
